"Murder Weapon" is the final studio album by the late West Coast hip-hop legend The Jacka, released on February 28, 2020, under The Artist Records and EMPIRE. This 48-minute journey through the streets of Oakland is a testament to The Jacka's unique blend of hyphy and West Coast hip-hop, packed with 13 tracks that showcase his signature flow and lyrical prowess.
From the energetic opener "Intro" to the introspective closer "Ask God," The Jacka takes you on a ride through his world, touching on themes of struggle, resilience, and triumph. Tracks like "Walk Away" and "Take Over the World" showcase his aggressive, battle-ready side, while "Not Dead" and "Cherish Me" offer a more introspective look into his life and experiences. The album also features standout tracks like "Ancient Astronaut," where The Jacka spits rapid-fire lyrics over a hard-hitting beat, and "We Outside," a hyphy anthem that pays homage to the Bay Area's party scene.
"Murder Weapon" is a fitting swan song for The Jacka, who passed away in 2015. It's a powerful reminder of his impact on the West Coast hip-hop scene and his ability to create music that resonates with fans and critics alike. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to The Jacka's music, "Murder Weapon" is an essential addition to any hip-hop collection.
